PREFATORY  NOTE 


This  is  a  selected,  not  a  complete  bibliography,  prepared  for  the  use  of 
undergraduate  students  of  Chaucer's  works.  It  is  a  revision  and  enlarge- 
ment of  Chaucer:  Outlines  and  References,  published  by  the  late  Associate 
Professor  Jewett  in  1896.  The  books  and  essays  on  the  list  have  been  chosen 
with  the  following  purposes:  (1)  to  introduce  students  to  the  life  and  the 
ideals  of  the  Middle  Ages;  (2)  to  illustrate  varied  sides  of  the  history  of 
Chaucer  criticism;  (3)  to  present  the  most  recent  criticism  in  regard  to  the 
dates  and  the  sources  of  Chaucer's  works;  and  (4)  to  suggest  Chaucer's  vital 
relationship  to  Continental  literature  of  the  Middle  Ages  and  to  later  English 
literature.  The  advanced  student  has  the  privilege  of  turning  to  Miss  Eleanor 
P.  Hammond's  invaluable  work,  Chaucer,  A  Bibliographical  Manual. 

In  conclusion  it  seems  fitting  to  quote  from  Miss  Jewett 's  own  preface  to 
the  Outlines  and  References  which  have  guided  many  grateful  students  on 
their  way. 

"In  presenting  to  a  Chaucer  class  even  a  brief  bibliography,  one  is 
tempted  to  offer  an  apology  both  to  the  poet  who,  though  so  reverent  to 
'olde  bokes,'  was  so  superior  to  footnote  and  index,  and  to  the  student  whose 
path  may  seem  to  be  incongruously  cumbered.  It  is  perhaps  not  superfluous 
to  suggest  to  the  beginner  that  the  way  into  Chaucer's  garden  of  beauty  is  by 
the  bright  road  of  his  own  verse."

O  maister  dere  and  fader  reverent! 
My  maister  Chaucer!  floure  of  eloquence, 
Mirrour  of  fructuous  entendement , 
O  universal  fadir  in  science! 

********* 

O  Dethe,  that  dids't  not  harme  singulere 

In  slaughtre  of  hym,  but  alle  this  lond  it  smerteth; 

But  natheless  yit  hast  thow  no  powere 

His  name  to  slee;  his  hye  vertu  asterteth 

Unslayne  fro  the,  whiche  ay  us  lyfly  herteth 

With  bookes  of  his  ornat  endityng, 

That  is  to  alle  this  londe  enlumynyng. 

— Occleve.     De  Regimine  Principum.     Proem. 


And  if  it  hap  that  midst  of  thy  defeat, 

Fainting  beneath  thy  follies'  heavy  load, 

My  Master,  Geoffrey  Chaucer,  thou  do  meet. 

Then  shalt  thou  win  a  space  of  rest  full  sweet ; 

O  Master,  O  thou  great  of  heart  and  tcmgue, 

But  of  thy  gentleness  draw  thou  anear, 

And  then  the  heart  of  one  who  held  the?  dear 

May'st  thou  behold! 

O  Master,  if  thine  heart  could  love  us  yet, 

Spite  of  things  left  undone,  and  wrongly  done. 

Some  place  in  loving  hearts  then  should  we  get. 

For  thou,  sweet-souled,  dids't  never  stand  alone. 

But  knew'st  the  joy  and  woe  of  many  an  one.     *  *  * 

By  lovers  dead,  who  live  through  thee,  we  pray. 

Help  thou  us  singers  of  an  empty  day!

Table  of  Sounds. 

Students  should  remember  that  the  sounds  of  Middle  English  vowels 
are  very  unlike  those  of  Modern  English.  In  pronouncing  the  vowels  it  is 
well  to  imitate  the  Roman  pronunciation  of  Latin.  Modern  German  is  also 
a  good  guide,  but  Afedern  French  is  misleading,  since  Chaucer  heard  and 
spoke  and  wrote  Old  French,  which  differs  considerably  from  Modern  French. 
The  following  examples  of  Chaucerian  words  are  taken  from  the  first  one  hun- 
dred and  sixty  lines  of  the  Prologue  to  the  Canterbury  Tales.. 
Mod.  E.,  Modem  English;  L.,  Latin;  C,  Chnucer. 

Vowels 

a  =  Mod.  E.  father,  calm,  L.  mater,  sonare,  C.  bathed,  smale. 

a  =  Mod.  E.  as,  than,  L.  campum,  ab,  C.  whan,  hath, 

e  =  Mod.  E.  gre>'.  L.  rerum,  spes,  C  swete,  slepen. 

ee  =  always  long  e. 

e  =  Mod.  E.  get,  men,  L.  esse,  sed,  C.  engendred,  hem. 

e  final  =  like  a  in  idea.  C.  ende,  corage. 

^  (e  with  a  hook)  represents  open  long  e,  pronounced 

like  Mod.  E.  e  in  there,  C.  ther. 

Students  will  no;  be  expected  to  distijigish  between  close  long  e  and  open 
long  e,  or  between  close  long  o  and  open  long  o,  since  the  distinctions  are  per- 
plexing  to    persons    unacquainted    with    Old    English.     Advanced    students 
should  consult  the  bibliography  above. 
e  =  is  always  sounded  at  the  end  of  a  word,  except  C.  droght  (e)  of,  veyn  {e) 

when  it  precedes  another  vowel  or  silent  h.  in,  statur{e)  he. 

1,  y  =  Mod.  E.  machine,  h.fidus,  miles,  C.  I,  inspired,  prioresse, 

ryde.

6.     List   of  Chaucer's   Works. 

Arranged  as  far  as  possible  chronologically,  with  selected  references  for 
the  study  of  each  work.  The  titles  are  spelled  according  to  the  Oxford 
Chaucer.  Full  titles  of  works  frequently  referred  to,  together  with  the  place 
and  date  of  publication  will  be  found  on  the  preceding  pages. 

Note:  Students  should  read  first  the  poem  to  be  studied,  then  the  critical 
material.  Miss  Hammond's  5«Wfogmp^3' and  Mr.  Root's  Poetry  of  Chaucer 
are  placed  at  the  head  of  the  lists  because  they  help  students  to  gain  quickly  a 
general  knowledge  of  the  position  of  Chaucer  criticism,  today,  in  regard  to 
dates,  sources,  and  special  problems. 

The  Romaunt  of  the  Rose 

The  French  Roman  de  la  Rose  consists  of  22,074  verses;  Guillaume  de 
Lorris  was  the  author  of  verses  1-4070;  Jean  de  Meun,  the  author  of  verses 
4071-22,074. 

The  Middle  English  translation  is  now  regarded  as  consisting  of  three 
fragments: — 

A  =  verses  1-1705,  probably  by  Chaucer. 

B  =  verses  1706-5810,  authorship  very  doubtful. 

C  =  verses  5811-7696,  perhaps  by  Chaucer.
